They   provide   a systematic, coordinated method of investigating known  deficiencies,  evaluating  the  quality  of workmanship, and determining the adequacy of and a d h e r e n c e    t o applicable technical publications/instructions. Special audits are used by QA  to  monitor  those  programs  specifically  assigned to the QA branch for monitoring. Special audits are conducted  at  the  direction  of  the  maintenance officer or QA supervisor on an as required basis. Audit forms, with appropriate checklists, for each  work  center  are  developed  by  QA.  Upon completion  of  an  audit,  the  findings  are  reviewed with the branch and work center supervisors; and a report  of  the  findings,  with  recommendations  when required,  is  submitted  to  the  maintenance  officer. Records of audits are maintained for 2 years. Adequate follow-up procedures must also be established  to  ensure  that  discrepancies  found during a QA audit are resolved. Attention from all levels  within  the  V-2  division  organization  is essential. 3.   Annual   type   commander   audit–The cognizant   type   commander maintenance management team conducts an annual audit of each carrier’s  ALRE  QA  program. The   ALREMP, OPNAVINST    4790.15, establishes  the  maintenance  policies,  procedures, and   responsibilities   required   to   provide   an integrated  system  for  performing  maintenance and  supporting related   functions   on   ship’s installed  aircraft  launch  and  recovery  systems and associated support systems and equipment. To obtain the full benefits of the QA program, teamwork  must  first  be  achieved. Blending QA functions  with  the  interests  of  the  entire  division creates   a   more   effective   program. Every maintenance  person  and  supervisor  must  be permitted to use an optimum degree of judgment in the  course  of  daily  operations  and  the  performance of daily work assignments. A person’s judgment plays  an  important  part  in  the  quality  of  the  work  he performs. QA techniques supply each person with information on actual quality, which provides a challenge  to  improve  the  quality  of  his  work.  The resulting  knowledge  encourages  the all  maintenance  personnel. SUMMARY You   should   now   know best  efforts  of hat   overhaul maintenance is restorative or additive work on catapults, arresting  gear, and   their   support equipment that is usually performed at a naval overhaul and depot facility, contractor plant, or industrial  facility. You  should  also  know  the differences  between  standard  and  special  overhauls and  the  differences  between  standard  and  special upkeep   maintenance. You  should  know  that  maintenance  tasks  are assigned  according  to  the  complexity,  scope,  and range of the work to be performed. You have read about the duties of the maintenance control, quality assurance,  and  maintenance  support  branches  of V-2  division.  You  should  now  know  the  purposes  of the maintenance action forms and the procedures for their completion. You should know that V-2 divisions support naval  operations  through  the  upkeep  and  operation 6-18
